My, it's a week for terse posts.  This is a net for discussion of many
things, related to the Mac.  I would hope that advanced university
students and the professional corporate world out there can stand a little 
philosophical/sociological discussion.  Kerry and MacWarehouse are
Mac-related.  So the discussion went beyond "I can't open DAs under
MultiFinder."  If you can't handle it, pal, you know how to skip the
message.  If I choose to engage in activities that you consider a waste of 
time, what of it?  What's it to you?  Look, you don't see me going into
your frat house and taking away your beer kegs, telling you "you're
wasting your time", do you?  I don't yank off your white hood and insist
you're wasting your time, do I?
 
Anyway, what was the point of your post?  Merely telling me I'm wasting my 
time does absolutely nothing.  So tell me _why_ I'm wasting my time. 
Explain why my reasoning is faulty, and why it would behoove me (that
means, translated to idiotese, "why it would be good for me") to focus my
attention, time, and efforts elsewhere.
 
If the net has degenerated into a place where the thinking man isn't
welcome, then I deeply regret it.

ps  "Remco Bruyne".  Is that really your name?  I'm serious.  I'm curious
as to where the surname originated.  I don't recognize the construction.
